The spacecraft Hope has been away from Earth for nearly 100 years, quietly moving on its way to Proxima Centauri.

Everyone on the ship slept quietly in the sleeping pod, all the rooms were dark, except for the light in the captain's wheelhouse, and an old man sat in the captain's seat, looking at the cosmic starry sky outside.

The solar sails outside the ship rotated slowly, and only one of the seven thrusters behind it was running, but it was enough to keep the ship moving at a constant speed.

Backbite! Backbite!

The ship's alarm sounded, and the large screen in front of it showed that it was a dead wandering planet, which was leaden gray, full of ravines and countless craters, but there was no atmosphere, and the temperature was extremely low.

The Dead Planet is still one light-second away from the ship, and if the ship does not slow down or change its course, it will collide with the Dead Planet.

The captain immediately came to his senses and hurried to check the trajectory and speed of the dead planet, and the flight trajectory of the spaceship had not changed for more than ten years, and it was time to change it.

The captain has decades of experience in changing the trajectory of the spacecraft, and although he has not used it a few times during this period, he has achieved good results every time he has carried out it, and he can get the spacecraft out of danger, so to speak, the captain has saved the lives of the spacecraft and its crew several times.

Well, it's going to the left, so I'm going to the right a little bit, yes, just a little, okay, that's it!

The captain set up a new route and pressed the OK button.

Backbite! Backbite! Warning, warning! The ship's course has changed! The ship's course has changed! will deviate from the destination! Backbite! Please change back to your original route within 10 seconds! Ten! Nine! Eight! ……

As soon as the new route was set, the ship screamed, which frightened the captain.

No way! What's going on? Didn't I set the route? How can it deviate?

The captain hurriedly rechecked the ship's route, and found that the route had indeed deviated considerably.

Oh, my God! I even typed an extra 0! I'm such an old fool!

When the captain saw it, he slapped his head vigorously and quickly changed the data back, which made the ship quiet.

With a long sigh of relief, the captain quickly poured himself a glass of water to suppress the shock.

After a few hours, the dead planet could already be seen with their own eyes.

Sipping the tea that had been brewed over and over again, the captain lay comfortably in the soft seat and looked at the planet in the distance.

The planet was flying fast, the ship was flying fast, in the captain's eyes, it was stationary, and the planet was approaching Feitron at a speed of thirty kilometers per second.

The mass of the spaceship is very large, but compared to the huge planet, it is not enough to pull the planet, but the gravitational pull of the planet has already begun to act on the spacecraft. So, the ship turned on the lateral propulsion device to keep the direction of progress, but the fragile solar sail on the ship was not as strong as calculated, and already a fixed pole began to bend, and the middle of the solar sail bulged in the direction of the planet. The spaceship and the planet tugged at each other, but the penniless planet had nothing to lose, and pulled the sun's sails like crazy.

It didn't take long for the solar sail to tear, and a solar sail fluttered in the starry sky like an unfurled flag.

At this time, the spaceship screamed again, and the captain looked at the situation, this is going to kill him!

The captain's greatest fear was to fly overboard, because he was always worried that the rope would not be strong enough, and then he would leave himself in the boundless universe without going up and down, and that kind of lonely situation was the last thing he wanted to encounter.

As a last resort, the captain checked three or four times that the rope was strong enough, opened the side hatch, saw the slowly fluttering sun sails, took a deep breath, and took the first small step in decades, and it was also his big step.

As soon as he walked out, he clearly felt that his heart was being pulled by some kind of force. He hurriedly grabbed a crossbar on the spaceship, stopped for a moment, looked up at the huge sun sail in the distance, which was not easy to resist the soft gravitational attraction of the planet, and floated over with a slight force under his feet.

His purpose was to fly to the other side of the solar sail and grab the corner of the solar sail first, but man is not as good as the sky, the gravitational pull of the planet has penetrated into the depths of the captain's soul, and he panicked all of a sudden, because his direction has been deviated, and the front is not a beautiful sun sail, but endless space. He quickly pulled the rope, and with a pop, the captain was pulled by the rope.

The captain was already sweating profusely, and slowly pulled the rope back, and he had to get back on the ship and launch again.

Since the planet in the distance had been making trouble, the captain tried several times to get the direction wrong, and finally after finding the pattern and skill, the captain took a lot of effort to catch the sun sail, which made the captain breathe a sigh of relief, and finally ended the long back and forth catapult, tired to death.

Catching the solar sail, repairing the solar sail is basically half the battle.

It is too annoying and very thin, less than a millimeter thick, very large, nearly 10,000 square meters, but it is very light, and the captain can pull it with one hand, but for the sake of insurance, the captain still holds the sun sail with both hands to prevent it from accidentally falling off from his hands, causing his efforts to be in vain, and he has to start all over again.

Repairing a torn solar sail is not like re-gluing torn paper, without tape or glue, but with a needle, sewing the solar sail together like sewing clothes. It's a delicate job, but it's also a physical job.

The captain, who had long been prepared to stay outside the spaceship for a long time, had prepared enough oxygen in advance, and was not afraid that the sun sail would waste time with him.

On the one hand, it is a relatively thin special silk thread, and the small pinhole is very large, and on the other hand, the thin thread will not move, you just need to move the needle gently.

It took the captain half an hour to sew a corner of the solar sail, and looking back, there were still hundreds of meters of the solar sail to be sewn.

The captain was very depressed, sighed helplessly, and could only continue to work hard.

While the captain was busy tinkering with the solar sails, the ship itself screamed again. The ship's intelligent control system contacted the captain and told him to hurry back, because the distant planet threw a large number of stones, which fell towards the ship like raindrops.

The captain looked up at the sun sail, which was less than half sewn, and for his own safety, he could only temporarily return to the ship.

In this meteorite-like situation, the spacecraft has its own defense system, which is the laser cannon installed on the outside of the spacecraft.

The large ones were nearly 100 meters in diameter, and the small ones were only a few millimeters. For a spaceship, even the smallest meteorite can be fatal as long as it is fast enough. The accuracy of the laser cannon is only two centimeters, and it is not a problem to deal with meteorites that are several meters and tens of meters in size, but the difficulty is to hit a meteorite with a size of several millimeters. This kind of meteorite, which is only a few millimeters, flies at the fastest speed and is also the most difficult to detect, and the consequences are not much lighter than those meteorites that are tens of meters in size.

If you're lucky, a few millimeters of meteorite are just ordinary clods of earth, and hitting the ship will only leave a crater, and if it's a very hard rock or other ore, it will easily pierce through the ship's hull.

The ship's laser cannons are bombarding the incoming meteorites one by one, and those meteorites of a few centimeters and millimeters can't be hit at all with a dozen laser cannons, and there will still be fish that slip through the net.

The sound of banging came from the outside of the ship, and the captain looked up at the outside where he couldn't see, hoping that the meteorites wouldn't rush in.

However, often walking by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet. No, not long after, a meteorite particle broke through a glass porthole on the ship. As soon as the hole appeared, a large amount of gas was sprayed out, and then the pressure in the room began to drop sharply, and immediately after, the ship called again.

The captain ran away, and in a panic came to this room with unstable air pressure, and when he opened the door, he saw a hole in the window, from which all the gas had escaped. The captain quickly fastened the sealing plate to the window, which stopped the air loss.

This room had just been blocked, and the other room was leaking again.

Oh, my God! Who's going to help me!

The captain shouted at a loud level, then rushed to another room.

The room leakage is a relatively good situation, and if there is another fire, it will be lively.

The captain has been praying that nothing bad will happen again, but you can't stop it.

There is not only one galley on the spaceship, there are several, at this time, there is a fire in one of the galleys, the spacecraft has activated the automatic fire extinguishing system, but the fire is too big to extinguish for a while and a half, then the spacecraft calls for the captain again.

The captain couldn't walk anymore, he lay down in the soft seat, turned off the ship's annoying sirens, and ignored the ship's intelligence system calling for it.

By the way, aren't there intelligent robots on the spaceship? Let them put out the fire!

The captain's mind flashed, and he remembered that when he first got on the spaceship, he saw a company send a container of robots up.

Sorry, it's the passenger's cargo, and we don't have the right to use it without the passenger's permission.

The ship's intelligent control system replied.

Now, you said it! As long as I have the passenger's permission, I can use his cargo, phew, those robots, right?

The captain rubbed his hands together and waited for an answer from the intelligent system.

Well, theoretically, but those passengers are still in the sleeping pod, and in order to get their permission, you need to wake them up, but you have to apply to wake up the passengers. Oh, by the way, you're the captain of the ship, so you can skip these processes, but you need to sign an agreement because you haven't reached your destination yet, and you should have let passengers sleep for hundreds of years, but you have to pay for waking them up early. The price is high enough to be deducted from your account, are you sure you want to wake up the passengers?

The captain can imagine that the intelligent control system of this spaceship tilts its head like a profiteer and looks at the captain, as long as the captain nods, the ship's manufacturing company can make a lot of money again.

The captain thought for a moment and shook his head, thinking that the idea was not good, but he thought of another way.

The captain of the ship was standing outside the officer's sleeping pod, looking down at the officer's profile.

Well, thirty-six years old, with a wife and two daughters, the profession is a technical officer of the company, and the annual salary is so much? Even if you're younger than me, you can earn more than me, who drives a spaceship, how can it be reasonable, hmph, it's you!

After reading the information, the captain clicked on the dream monitoring system of the sleeping pod with a few clicks. At this time, the person in the sleep pod was still dreaming, and he dreamed that his robot assistant was laughing because he accidentally knocked the cup off the table.

Laughing so happily in your dreams? I'll see you're still happy for a while, aren't you?

The captain slowly changed some of the data of the sleeping chamber, such as the temperature, pressure, air speed, sound volume, etc.

After changing a few data, the captain saw that the dream of this technical officer changed.

At this time, the technician dreamed that he had come to a place where the snow was white everywhere, and the wind was biting, and he was about to freeze.

The captain looked at the technician trembling slightly, and turned up some of the values of the sleep hide a little.

Yes! It's so hot! Where am I?

The hapless technologist was in a desert area, where the sun was scorching the earth, and he was about to be baked.

Tormenting the technical officer back and forth, the captain was very happy, and suddenly, the ship shook and shook the captain to the ground.

I go, and what's wrong?

The captain quickly stood up and tried to contact the ship's intelligent systems, but received no response.

Feeling that something was really wrong, the captain hurried out of the passenger compartment. Run back to the captain's quarters.

The ship's laser cannon had run out of energy and was in the process of being recharged, but several meteorites dozens of meters had smashed over. Fortunately, these large meteorites do not fly very fast, but they can also cause a lot of damage, some of which are brittle and have turned into powder, and some of them are harder and stuck in the hull of the ship, and the buckle cannot be buckled.

The ship's hull was badly damaged, sparks were flying, several rooms were completely damaged, and the cooling system, power control system, and air circulation system in several areas had ceased to function.

Seeing the devastation caused by these meteorites, the captain suddenly collapsed on the soft seat.

This is heaven to kill me!

The captain covered his eyes, not wanting to cry. The ship's current situation couldn't be fixed by him alone, he needed help, but he couldn't just wake people up.

Just as the captain was in deep despair, footsteps were heard behind him. The captain hurriedly looked back and saw more than a dozen people holding the constantly shaking spaceship, looking at the captain.

Boat...... Captain, how is it now?

The technician walked over tremblingly and looked at the pale captain.

Alas, it's basically hopeless, you see.

The captain stood up, holding the technical officer, who had not yet recovered from the sudden awakening of the sleeping pod, and pointed to the large screen showing the damage to the ship.

The technical officer clicked a few times, then thought for a few seconds before looking back at the captain.

Captain, we still have help.

The captain couldn't help but cry, looked at the technical officer, and then hugged the technical officer tightly, sobbing and saying thank you.

The devastated spaceship, saved by everyone, finally broke out of the gravitational circle of the dead planet and rushed to its destination at full speed.

The technical officer stood in front of the window, looking out the window at the captain wrapped in the national flag, he saluted, and tears in his eyes.

He had known that the captain had moved his sleeping pod, but at this time he wanted the captain to move again, but there was no chance.

The passengers who woke up stood neatly behind the technical officer, the new captain, looking into the distance.

Hundreds of years later, when the spacecraft reached its destination, people climbed out of the sleep pod one after another, and came to the window one after another, looking at the bright sun outside and the beautiful blue and green planet.

Backbite! Captain, the destination has arrived.

The ship's intelligent control system made a crisp sound, calling the captain back from his distant vague memory.

Finish.
